: As stated in an earlier commentary by an avid fan of JD Salinger, this is a JD Salinger website, not just a Catcher in the Rye website. I was wondering if anyone had a link or any information that would lead me to a copy of the story Hapsburg 16, 1924. I can't seem to find the New Yorker webpage and I have a feeling that even if I do, it won't be able to give me a copy of a story that ran forty years ago.

There are a couple ways to go about finding the story.
1. Find a RARE copy of one of the bootlegged books containing the 22 underpublished stories. No, I don't know where to find those.

or

2. Do what I did and head to your (perferably larger) City Library (or in my case a University library) and find yourself a back copy of the June 19, 1965 issue of The New Yorker. The New Yorker only sells back issues up to 1970 so this is your best bet. It is from pages 32-113 so grab a big bag of dimes and warm up the library copying machine. If not, check if they have it on microfiche/microfilm. It is much easier this way because a 35 year old magazine isn't really in that great of condition. But whatever you do, don't go ahead and rip out the pages if you find the back copy. I have found stories ripped out of old magazines and it really becomes annoying for others digging for these stories. :)

Good Luck!

I have also heard rumors of a .PDF file of the 22 Stories, retyped and formatted for printing and binding (at kinkos or something) but once again. I have not personally seen it, nor know where to get it.
